How Does Nitrofurantoin Work?

Nitrofurantoin is an antibacterial medicine that treats UTIs by targeting and killing the bacteria in the bladder and urinary tract. It is typically prescribed for uncomplicated cystitis in women and may be used as a short-term course or for ongoing prevention in recurrent cases.

Symptoms usually begin to improve within 24 to 48 hours of starting treatment.

Key Benefits
  • Fast-acting relief from UTI and cystitis symptoms
  • Effective against common UTI-causing bacteria
  • Can be used for short-term treatment or prevention
  • Helps reduce pain, urgency, and discomfort during urination
  • Available in modified-release and standard tablets

Who Can Use Nitrofurantoin?

Nitrofurantoin may be suitable for adults who:
  • Have symptoms of uncomplicated cystitis or a confirmed UTI
  • Experience recurrent UTIs and require preventative treatment
  • Are not allergic to nitrofurantoin or related medications
Nitrofurantoin is not suitable for:
  • People with kidney or liver disease
  • Pregnant women (depending on trimester – consult your GP)
  • Individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency

A short consultation with a prescriber is required to assess suitability.

How to Use Nitrofurantoin

For treatment of cystitis (short course):
  • Take 100mg twice daily for 3 days (women) or 7 days (men)
For prevention of UTIs (long-term use):
  • Dose and frequency will be determined by your prescriber

Always take with food to improve absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset. Complete the full course even if symptoms improve.

Available Strengths

  • 100mg modified-release capsules (taken twice daily)

Your prescriber will advise on the best format based on your symptoms and treatment plan.

Possible Side Effects

Nitrofurantoin is generally well tolerated, but some people may experience:

  • Nausea or stomach upset (reduced by taking with food)
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Changes in urine colour (dark yellow or brown – usually harmless)

Rare but serious side effects include breathing difficulties or liver problems. Contact a healthcare provider if you notice worsening symptoms or allergic reactions.
